Michael Burz is a software engineer and systems architect.
He began working with computers in his teenage years,
guided by curiosity and a respect for how things are made.
He began programming in 1997,
studying computer science and building software
for practical, everyday use.
From 2004 to 2009, he worked in a computer shop,
learning hardware, operating systems,
and the discipline of solving real problems
for real people.
His work spans software, systems, and infrastructure,
with a persistent focus on clarity,
longevity, and restraint.
He works across operating systems,
cloud platforms, native applications,
and distributed systems,
always with respect for the user’s time.
He believes software should reveal itself immediately —
understood through use,
not explanation.
Michael lives and works remotely,
practicing independent craftsmanship
with discipline, continuity,
and deliberate restraint.
